What customers say
This well-kept, adults-only campsite boasts spotless facilities, even with heated floors in washrooms. Campers rave about the generous sites, welcoming staff, and handy bar/pizza spot. Great for exploring York, though a car is recommended for local shops. Occasional Wi-Fi hiccups noted.
